So, today has been a little bit of a rollercoaster for Chris and I today. We talked to the lawyer today...it was a good visit, but a little scary on our part. The lawyer is confindent that we will be eligible to adopt one of those precious little kids, but we are nervous about our part....they are ready to go, but we are not. Why do things have to be so hard! We know things are all in due time....
This morning, while getting ready for the gym I had a idea....I am going to try and raise money by selling some of my craft projects. I make these really cute kids frames, kids door hangers, and put together some really fun holiday and animal magnets. I am going to try and sell at least 300 sets...I know a lot, but I know I can do it! I am going to sell at Curves, Craigs list, KSL, and if anyone else I know wants any (or if you do)! I still want to do the garage sale, which, I am excited for...raising money is new territory for me, but I feel so strongly about this child that I know the Lord will provide a way. Call me crazy, but I will make this happen.
So, if I can raise the money, I can have a baby in my arms very SOON! Chris and I are starting to show the first signs of excitement because all of you know in adoption you never show it too soon....
I will put up the pics of the crafts soon....please spread the news! Thank you all for your support!

I am so excited for you Brook, especially to know that a baby is coming your way. I would be interested in these things you make, since I am not crafty. Let me know how much you want, address where to send money, and exactly what you have available.
ReplyDeleteWhen you put up the pics make sure that you also put up the prices. (maybe even the cost of shipping and we can put up some little ad's on facebook too on our profiles) I will talk to some of my friends here and see if they would like it and advertise for ya as much as I can. Also if you need any help with making the crafts let me know and I will be right over!!!!!! My schedule is WIDE open.
ReplyDeleteHey Brooke,We have a one track mind. You hit it right on the head with the comment that a spirit is a spirit no matter what. AA Babies are the cutest little things ever. They bring so much life into our homes. Any one that thinks diffrently is crazy. I would not change one little thing about my kids. That is so exciting to bring another little one into your home and the best part is now Riley can experience it and go to the temple.I am so grateful to let my kids do it again. They thought that was the neatest thing. They are already talking about going again. Let me know how it goes and if you need any help. If you don't mind I would like to add you on my blog. Take care friend. Leslie
ReplyDeleteBrooke,
ReplyDeleteThere is another site specifically for crafters. Go to www.etsy.com. That would be a wonderful way to sell your items! Let my mom and I know as well, we could put up some pics in our office and get the word out for you.
